Late yesterday, Philadelphiaâs City Council passed Legislative File 100722, a measure to close the so-called âFlorida Gun Loopholeâ by a 17 to 0 vote. LF 100722 states that Philadelphia will not recognize out-of-state carry licenses held by Pennsylvania residents, unless the individual also holds a Pennsylvania concealed carry license. This proposal not only violates Pennsylvaniaâs state firearms preemption but also potentially turns law-abiding gun-owners who are living and traveling in Philadelphia into criminals. According to local news reports LF 100722 will be recalled and amended with undisclosed language and reconsidered at the next city council meeting on February 17. We must take advantage of this opportunity to stop LF 100722 by flooding calls into the Philadelphia City Council and your state legislators urging them to OPPOSE LF 100722. Let them know that LF 100722 doesnât stop criminals it only turns law-abiding Pennsylvanians into criminals. Also, urge your family, friends and fellow gun owners to call the city council and their state legislators to OPPOSE LF 100722.
